Windows 10: Windows 10 license lost from Microsoft Account

Hello,


few years ago I've upgraded my Windows 7 it was a retail copy, not OEM version to Windows 10. So far so good. Two years ago, I've upgraded my Windows to Windows 10 Pro I needed Hyper-V.


Recently, I've tried to setup a VM using Parallels Desktop on my iMac with Windows 10 onboard, but I cannot activate the Windows installation. The most funny part is that on my girlfriend's account everything seems to be OK - she owned the same Windows 7 license and upgraded it to Windows 10.


It seems that there's no license stored in my account - how can I resolve this issue? Any clues what can be done?

Loophole Lets You Freely Upgrade to Windows 10 After Offer Expiry

If you upgrade your 7 install to 10, which is worth it IMHO, make sure you link to a Microsoft Account. Otherwise you might not be able to easily regain the key if they block using 7 keys in the future.

You don't need to use the Microsoft account as your profile on so you can still bypass logging in at setup and creating a local account. All you gotta do to link your 10 account to your MS install (if you choose not to use your MS account as your profile), is to simply do the following:

• Click Start
• Click Settings
• Click Update and Security
• Click Activation
• As or with Admin permissions, click Add Account
• Login with MS Account credentials.

Then you should see a message that reads:

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
